I have a teleflex rack & pinion setup and it says on the cable not to lube it. Maybe see if you can find any wording on the cable.

My steering wheel was squeaking. I just shot some WD-40 in there. No problem.

Cables have no provisions for lubrication, and they're sealed up pretty darn well. If they die, then replacement is normal.
